The iconic jungle bird shirt!

My birthday was Monday and my wife bestowed upon me a most excellent gift (wait, that read's a little too Bill & Ted . . . anyway). Straight from Hawaii and Paradise Found.

It's great!

And . . . even better, she helps me indulge in my little hobbies.

Nice! I know my wife would never buy the jungle Bird shirt for me. She despises Hawaiian shirts.

Awesome Conch! Any time you can inject a little Magnum in to your life...well, it's ALL good!

Yes, but that's just the start. Next you need the Paradise Found Orchid Star! Warning! If you shop for these on eBay beware! The older or vintage Paradise Found, like back when the show was airing, run about one size smaller than you need. I guess we all ran a little smaller back then.

There is just so much neat stuff to collect from MPI!!!

The great thing about the Paradise Found shirts is they have staying power, not unlike our hero that recovered from being shot so many times. They can be washed over and over and don't fall apart like other Hawaiian shirts......

Awesome Conch!

Any chance we can see a picture of it at your backyard tiki bar?

I'm in the same boat! We gotta come up with a plan to change that. Any ideas? Hehe...

$60 and PayPal, my friends.

But then our wives would kill us! Do you see our dilemma now?

IKnowWhatYoureThinking · Thu Jul 23, 2009 12:53 pm

James, I'll buy one eventually. I have a few Hawaiian Shirts now, but for some reason no Magnum shirt. The wife has pretty much said she will not be seen in public with me if I am wearing one.

A time will come - not far from now - when everybody starts wearing them funny shirts again!! So buy them now, wear them later!!

The Paradise Lost jungle bird shirt is on my wishlist.

I've got the green vest, glasses, ring (not perfect but it does the job) and Da Nang hat (I got a Da Nang patch off e-bay and attached it to a blue hat), now all I need is the shirt to complete the look, and a good fancy dress ball to go to!

Yeah, you know the green vest / tshirt thing Magnum wears, typically when out running.

I think I need a screen grab to show the one I mean
